Anatolia is located on fault lines with high potential for major earthquakes due to its geographical position. In this context, earthquakes have played a significant role in Anatolian history. Malatya, situated at an important crossroads in the east-west and north-south directions due to its geopolitical location, is also a city built at the intersection of the main fault lines passing through Anatolia. Malatya, which has experienced major earthquakes at different times in the past, is one of the four cities most affected by the two major earthquakes on February 6, 2023, which have been described as the disaster of the century. The February 6 earthquakes, which negatively affected almost every aspect of community life, caused many interconnected problems that will continue to impact Malatya's commercial life for a long time. The destruction experienced in almost every part of the city, especially in the commercial area around the New Mosque, which is considered the heart of trade in the city, and the fact that many of the city's workplaces have become unusable, has made it difficult to meet the needs of the city's residents. For many of the problems caused by the earthquake to be solved and for life to return to normal, commercial relations must first be normalized. In this context, immediately after the earthquake, while intensive efforts were made to meet people's food, drink, and shelter needs, businesspeople and public institutions worked hard to revive trade. However, both the destructive impact of the earthquakes and the failure to make adequate preparations before and after the earthquakes have caused disruptions and errors in the process of revitalizing commercial life. The Earthquake and Trade Report aims to identify the problems experienced in the city's commercial life after the earthquake and determine who is undertaking what kind of work to solve these problems. In this context, the Earthquake and Trade Report reveals the thoughts of eleven different professional groups prominent in the city's commercial life regarding the activities carried out after the earthquake and their views on the city's commercial future. The report includes the views, thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions of different professionals, primarily business owners, employees working in these businesses, and those who had to leave their jobs after the earthquake. The report was prepared by compiling information obtained through face-to-face interviews with ninety-six people from eleven different occupational groups. The report provides important information to managers in Malatya and other cities in the earthquake zone, as well as to managers in central government directly involved in disaster response, on how to minimize damage in the aftermath of an earthquake and prepare for possible future disasters. Following the earthquakes of February 6, it is important in many respects to engage with the tradespeople who are striving to continue their commercial activities, to give them the opportunity to describe their work, and to share their observations. Recording the knowledge and experience gained from the work done by tradespeople in the aftermath of the earthquake, based on their experiences and observations, will make a significant contribution to building a more livable future. I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Ahmet KIZILAY, Rector of Inonu University, who provided his full support throughout the process, from the conceptualization to the implementation and reporting stages of the report, on behalf of my colleagues who prepared the report. We would like to thank all participants who contributed their insights to the report through interviews. I would also like to congratulate the faculty members, research assistants, and doctoral students who worked diligently during the preparation of the report. With the hope that the report will contribute to the normalization of commercial life in our city after the earthquake...
